Gretchen Carlson was "Punk'd" on Monday on "Fox and Friends" by a young man who claimed to be unemployed and disappointed about Barack Obama.

The young man, Max Rice, was giggling at the cameras even before the interview started, hinting that something may not be right with him.

But Carlson went on with the interview.

"Hello, Miss USA, it's an honor," Rice said.

"Miss America," Carlson corrected him politely. "But close." (She won the 1989 Miss America Pageant while she was representing her native Minnesota.)

"Miss America, Miss Universe in my book," he said laughing and looking off camera.

"Oh ok, well thank you very much," she replied changing the topic.

"Now, tell me your story. You believed in the hope and change of President Obama, and so you voted for him. Now tell me about the next 3 1/2 years," she asked.

"Oh, I was a huge Obama supporter in 2008," Rice said drinking a Starbucks coffee. "I met him in third grade, when I was little."

WHAT????? THAT’S HER??????

[Uncle Chip]

Yep — definitely not her fault.

That pretty much sums up his whole show, “I found out something that no one knows, here’s a snip-it, I’ll provide evidence later”, only problem is people have known it for days, or weeks or years or centuries already.
He really is a ledgen in his own mind.

How can Andrea Mitchell be beating O’Reilly in the ratings? She comes on in the early afternoon and O’Reilly comes on later in the evening, right?

I got so sick of that when I listened to his radio show. My husband would sometimes tune him in at work, but he said, “I can’t stand listening to that guy’s crap anymore.”

F&F is getting difficult to watch during the week. I can still stand the weekend crew, but the weekday group is simply tedious.

Anything after 8AM is simply a commercial for whatever product the are shilling for these days.

Kilmeade is taking the wise-guy thing too far, and the Scarecrow guy just spews talking points.

Now, I am not saying the other shows are watchable— tried to watch the Today show the other day when we had a house guest (yes, I have to respect a house guest’s watching habits.) It was unwatchable. Period. And it wasn’t that news chicks fault that show sucked—because she was not on that day. Its just horrible.

I watch CNBC until whatever report comes out at 8:30—then off to listen to the radio in my in-home office.

Just as well...I am getting more work done, earlier in the day. More time to walk my puppy.

Wow you sound like a prude. Most guys like legs and thighs and short skirts on women.

[Iron Munro]

Oops. I got fooled by some mis-labeled photos.

Here is the real Gretchen as Miss Minnesota and then as Miss America 1989:

I believe that is Carrie Prejean, not Gretchen Carlson.

This is Gretchen:

O,no,you didn’t post the wrong photo!

I have to object to including Dana Parino in your otherwise accurate list. I find her extremely intelligent, knowledgeable, and very cute. She might not be a rabid conservative, but conservative enough for me. I'd vote for her over Romney any day.

I just found out about Blaze being on DiSH from a FR thread yesterday. I have not been a regular watcher of Fox News (any news, really) for years. Watched a little Beck this morning. I do miss the Fox News babes, though.

F&F is getting difficult to watch during the week. I can still stand the weekend crew, but the weekday group is simply tedious.

Personally I found it even more tedious when E.D. Hill was part of the mix. That being said you are not wrong. I've become convinced Kilmeade is only there in the hopes that he'll provoke an actual fistfight with a guest and spur ratings. What a clown! Doocy is a nice enough guy but does not add much.

And to the lady above who commented about Gretchen wearing too little in the way of clothing. More on-point I think that sometimes she tends to leave some of her less flattering assets uncovered (particularly on a set where they're shooting straight up her knees)

Well, there was a better punk interview. There was a guy on letterman last night who, get this, he *claimed* to be the President of the United States but didnt even know what the national debt was when he took office.

And then he blamed a video for an ambassador getting killed, called it “insulting to the prophet Mohammed” like he was a muslim himself (obviously trying to rle up the ‘Obama is a muslim’ crowd), even though we already knew that a guy who is a terrorist who Obama’s administration called an ‘ally of sorts’ is likely behind that planned attack.

Guy was obviously pranking everyone. I mean, that clown couldnt possibly be the President. Right? Right?!?!?

[Vendome]

guy is gay and severely retarded....

[Vendome]

Yeah! Baby!

That’s fresh clean air!

[Vendome]

absolutely hittable....

[Mich Patriot]

LOL - I posted two pics and I’m not sure which one you’re referring to, but I think “BOTH” is the answer.

I try to listen to his show, but lately (Hannity too) the radio show has turned into one long informercial for their TV or internet show.

I listen to be informed, not find out that something important and I need to know will be on that night.
